''This page is about the various deep dwarf [[monster]]s. For the player race, see [[deep dwarf]].''

'''Deep dwarves''' are a strange people who live deep in the cold earth, worshiping gods of death and practicing [[Necromancy]]. They do not heal naturally but are generally well-armed, and their deep dwarf [[Deep dwarf#Damage Reduction|damage shaving]] provides surprising resilience to all forms of harm.

Hostile deep dwarves have largely been phased out of ''Crawl'', as their lack of regeneration made fighting them very low-risk. While they were still present, they could occasionally be found roving in [[the Abyss]], though you might also have encountered them in various death- and necromancy-themed branches and vaults. Nowadays, if you see a deep dwarf, it's usually a [[shapeshifter (monster)|shapeshifter]].
